Blowing the Mayor's Horn.

Among some Of the numerous corpora
tion customs in England, says Cassclt's
lhaaasiue. may be mentioned the blowing
of the 6 Burghmote Horn, by the sound
of which the members Of the corporation
were, in days gone BY, summoned to-
gether. This custom probably dates
back to Anglo Saxon times, having been
in some places continued until our own
times. At Ripon an ancient horn is pre-
served, which is sounded every day. IF
avisitorshould remain in the city, , writes
Mr., Walhran, during the evening he
may hfar the sounding Of the Mayors
horn. 1t formerly announced the setting
of the watch, whence the chief officer of
the town derived the Saxon style of
swakeman, but it is now, of course,
apsed into a formality. Three blasts,
long, dull and dire. are given at nine
o'clock at the Mayors door by his official
horn-b blower, and one afterward at the
market cross, while the seventh bell Of
the cathedral is ringing. Itwas ordained
In 1853 that it should be blown at the
four corners of the cross at nine o'clock,
after which if any house on the gate
sgd within the towne' was robbed, the
wakeman was bound to compensate the
loss if it was rrovedSs shat he and his SER
wants did not their dstie at the time. :

Tie Art Of sermon Making.


For 4 number Of years, says the Rev.
ii. j. i. Bchrcnd ii the Brooklyn Eagle:
Ieoniinued to read half Of my sermons
and to prepare the other half without
use of the pen. But my written and
speaking STYLES were out Of harmony.
found myself living doable mental life.
Ny preaching licked uniformity and the
individuality which grows ont Of the
use of a single method. So abandoned
both methods and adopted the third :
that Of preparing . careful brief. mas
ter;ng its contents without special at
tent;on to the language and then freely
reproducing it in speech and without
til. use Of q note This has been my
habit for over fifteen ears, and am
sure that for me it IS the best The
written preparation ordinarily amounts
to q 900 words, one-third of q fully writ
ten discourse. The thought is put as
compactly rs possible, md with special
regard 10 clcarnessI and precision. No
elaboration. either of argument or Of
imagery. IS attempted at the time of
competition; this Is left to the sil6se-
qurnt review, to WHICH an hour and d
half Is given Immediately pre- eding the
service. and very much IS lcft to the
fric ina d though which an active and
attentive audience always cxcites.

The Trial of Cora Lee.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. June 13.-T'.e trial of Cora
Lee for the murder of Sarah Graham began
here this morning The attendance is large,
and inquiries from many parts of the country
show that interest in the has not subsidized,
although it is not as intense as when the parties
charged with the crime were first arrested The
jury secured without difficulty, on account
of the lapse of time and is chiefly composed OF
people VINO have since come into the county and
were therefore not familiar with the facts con-
corning the crime. Several witnesses were ex-
amined to-day, hut nothing elected that the
public were not familiar with at the time of the
preliminary examination. It is understood that
the defendant will go upon the stand herself
before the trial Closes when dramatic and
sensational time may be expected. Judge Bland
